Influenster: Vox Box Surf's Up




Influenster is a website, which allows you to use your own social media to review products. You sign up for it, you can review products from different categories, and eventually when you have enough of a score from your activities in the website, it may qualify you for a Vox Box.

About two weeks ago, I got a pre-survey asking me to answer some questions in order to qualify me to review a Surfs Up Vox Box, I guess I had what they were looking for because I soon got another email saying they were going to send me the box.

I was surprised I got picked for a Vox Box since I sort of forgot that Influenster existed, although during winter, I got really bored, and I think I reviewed at least 200 different candy products on their website and some gamer products, so maybe that's why they chose me. Who knows, I'm not complaining.

This is the Surfs Up Box, I GOT IT FOR FREE FROM Influenster. I DID NOT PAY FOR THESE PRODUCTS, they were sent to me to give a fair review. 

The first look at the box.
The info sheet that comes with the box stating the value of and what each product is.

First off, were two coupons for Jamba Juice Smoothie Kits. One is for a free package, and the other saves me a dollar on the smoothies.

I recently introduced my fiance to Jamba Juice because he LOVES milkshakes, and we wanted to find a healthier alternative to milkshakes, and I've always liked Jamba Juice.  We both like Jamba Juice, so I'm actually interested in buying the smoothie kit and the juice needed to make the smoothie. I may pick it up tomorrow,when I go to Kroger to buy the food I need to cook dinner for Justin's mom on Wednesday.

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration After Sun lotion, this sample is worth $3.00.
My favorite summer activity is reading books on my kindle, at the pool. Justin and I also like frequent water parks like Wet & Wild or Schlitterbahn New Braufels/Galveston Island.  We're both pretty good at remembering to put on suntan lotion.

But, you spend a day at a water park, with all the walking around and the crazy water rides, we do sometimes get burned, so this is a product that will be very useful for us. I especially like how it's a travel size, so I can just throw it into my bag, and leave it in a locker, for times after a water park.

First Aid Shot Therapy, worth $3.00.

This product is "an FDA compliant liquid pain relief [drinkable] shot. Common uses for FAST are headache/migraine, sore muscles, back pain, and hangover headache."

I don't drink enough to get hungover, but I do get awful migraines, especially in summer, so next time I have a migraine, I'll try this to see if it works any better then my usual pill regime.

It probably tastes awful though.

Sinful Colors Nailpolish in Ocean Side, worth $2.00.

I've owned many Sinful Color polishes, in the past. For the low cost, they're very good value, and there's a huge variety of colors to choose from. 
However, some of the colors do stain your nails yellow.

I've never tried this one, it is a pretty blue color though. It reminds me more of the sky though, not really ocean water. 

Cover Girl Bombshell Curvaceous by Lashblast Mascara, worth $10.00.

I love mascara, especially seeing as I have nonexistent eyelashes. 

This formula has two parts. The first part volumizes and curls your lashes, and the second part intensifies them.

I've owned lots of Cover Girl mascara, in the past, the original lashblast used to be my go to mascara for several years, and I was always pleased with the results.  I look forward to adding this to my mascara regimen.

I'm also happy I received the mascara as opposed to the other "hot ticket" item, which was a shampoo and conditioner combination.

So... I paid nothing, and got products worth $18.00, and unlike the last Vox Box I received, I'll probably use all the products in this one.

If you want to join Influenster, all you need to do is go to their website, sign up, connect it to social media, and review products, and then maybe you'll get your own Vox Box.

Or, I have 5 invites I've never used and I can invite you to join my team, which means our reviews and stuff would chain together, and we'd earn points together towards things like Vox Boxes and what not... If you're interested in that, just leave your email address, and I'll send an invite to you.
